Your fax requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning
procedures for the fax. Please note the following before cleaning:

erased when the power is disconnected, print any documents stored in memory before
disconnecting the power cord. (see p. 6-16)

components or generate static charges.
